Our Shower Base Refinishing Process
Cracks repaired, surface restored, waterproof coating applied — all in a single day.
Inspect & Strip
The shower base is fully inspected for cracks, chips, and surface damage. Old coatings, soap scum, and residue are stripped to expose the bare substrate.
Crack & Chip Repair
All cracks and chips are filled with professional-grade compounds and sanded smooth, restoring structural integrity and a seamless base surface.
Waterproof Coating
A bonding primer is applied followed by multiple coats of premium waterproof coating in the chosen color, creating a durable, seamless finish.
Non-Slip & Inspect
Optional non-slip texture is applied to the floor. Omar personally inspects every inch before leaving. Ready to use within 24 hours.

Benefits of Shower Base Refinishing
Stops Water Damage
Cracks in a shower base can allow water to penetrate the subfloor causing mold, rot, and structural damage. Refinishing seals all cracks and creates a fully waterproof surface before damage spreads.
